Very many thanks, Brian; this is just what I need, and probably
wouldn't have worked it out myself. I owe you a drink any time you're
in Cheltenham!

Yes, that's where I have RemotePrinterFS, and it works excellently
with the Phaser, when the Phaser itself works, but with a very
different string.

I will surely do, thanks, but I think I have enough to go on now.

Hosts file, so I've been using the numeric address for the Phaser, so
would do this for the new printer when it arrives.
Many thanks again,
